Virtual Reality for the Improvement of Patients Understanding of Disease and Treatment (MRgRT)

Summary

This clinical trial explores if using virtual reality (VR) headsets will help to improve patient understanding of their disease and decrease anxiety about treatment. Three-dimensional (3D) images may help the patient visualize their tumor and location better and therefore understand potential side effects. Visualizing a virtual representation of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) linear accelerator (Linac) may decrease treatment related anxiety.
